If you want to check your phone, but you need to exercise more:
1.After I pull out my phone, I will do ten burpees (need).
2.After I do ten burpees, I will check my phone (want).
The first step to changing bad habits is to be on the lookout for them.
If you feel like you need extra help, then you can try Pointing-and-Calling in your own life.
Say out loud the action that you are thinking of taking and what the outcome will be.
Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become.
No single instance will transform your beliefs, but as the votes build up, so does the evidence of your new identity.
This is one reason why meaningful change does not require radical change.
